Breadth #7

For this piece, I thought a somewhat gestural figure drawing would be a good addition to my breadth section of the portfolio. I couldn't find anyone to pose for me, so I ended up drawing my boyfriend, Rob, as he did his homework outside. I think it's a really successful piece! The lines are really energetic and I think it looks just like him - especially in the nose :). I also like the variety of media I used - colored pencil, charcoal, colored marker, white conte, and pen. The variety in the lines adds interest to the composition. I created the piece on a sheet of sample wallpaper, so the color and the slight pattern adds excitement as well.
